Archer's story is a prequel to her upcoming Blades Of The Rose series, which sounds like an intriguing mix of Victorian historical, fantasy/magical elements, and Indiana Jones-style derring-do.

D'Arc's story is also a prequel to her paranormal-zombies-running-amok book, Once Bitten, Twice Dead - which is out now in trade paperback.

I've done a very brief search, and it appears that Half Past Dead is only available as a free ebook at the Sony Store. Also, no idea how long this promotion is going to last, so if you're interested - strike while the iron is hot.

My reread/revisiting of the McCone series marches on with this book that I vaguely remembered "really liking" back in the day. I still kind of liked it, but it didn't hold up as well for me as Trophies and Dead Things. I suspect because ...

#11 in the Sharon McCone series works best as a mystery if you're completely ignorant of later books in the series. The misdirection involving a secondary character would just play better. I liked this one, but wasn't in love with it. Th...
